My life partner wants me to write a post about public spitting.  Here is what she emailed to me:

“It’s out of control.  All ages, all races, all demographics and all neighborhoods.  So, what does it mean? Who knows? What’s responsible? Hard to tell. How can it be stopped? An idea –  Public health campaign?  If we could get one tenth of the publicity that swine flu got (and is continuing to get) we could wipe this out in no time.  How about a celebrity campaign piece?  The possibilities are endless…..”

Now, we were not so much alike 10 years ago when our relationship started.  In fact, she would be appalled at some of my posts because “people from good families” don’t write such things.  And look at her now.  That’s my girl!!
